Shabbat Shalom: Friday Wrap-Up

I hope you are enjoying the NBA Finals; nothing like a classic match-up of Lakers vs. Celtics. You have Kobe vs. Pierce, a three-headed monster in Pierce, Garnett, and Jesus Shuttlesworth (Ray Allen), and who can forget the Shabbat Shalom favorite, Jordan Farmar? Why is he a favorite you may ask. Simply because Jordan Farmer has been to the Land of Milk and Honey (Israel) twice, has an Israeli step-father, and even considers himself a Jew. Did you ever have a doubt after looking at his shayna punim? (Non-Jews…go ask your Jewish friends what that means) After last night, the Lakers sure are in need of a miracle…Farmar to the rescue? Anyway, here are some stories I skipped over this past week so that you may enjoy them now:
